Here are some dads from video games:
As seen above, Yoshi's a bit of a deadbeat dad, but after Baby Mario, he needed a release.
That's just the first three I thought of off the top of my head. Your favorites?
Hm, Jecht from FFX? I don't know if I would call him a good father (since he goes AWOL on his son for like ten years or something), but I liked the guy as a character.
Well, technically the only good father in my blog is James McCloud if you run with my narrative for Yoshi. So deadbeats aren't off limits. But yeah, Jecht is compensating for SOMETHING with that big ass sword.
Pac-Man's a father.
True. Happy Late Father's Day to Pac-Man then!
My favorite video game father is this dude.

He's been in enough games to count. 
Oh yeah, lots and lots of Star Wars games. Speaking of which, remember that Episode I pod racing game for N64? Say what you will about the movie, I remember really liking that game.
Right now I'd have to go with Joel from The Last Of Us. Kind of tragic,but he is a Dad at the start of the game. Do Big Daddies count? The ones in Bioshock that is.
I actually saw a website that mentioned Big Daddies in their top five best dads, so I'd say so.
And Joel is a good name. Just one letter away from being a perfect man name. lol 
The only ones I can think of are the bad dads like Harlan Wade from the F.E.A.R. series. Not the best father figures to pop to mind...
Yeah, I've never played FEAR, but games don't have the best examples of dads. lol
